Bobsleigh Discussion | Qualification to Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026 Road to Milano Cortina 2026

[Monzanator 4,800]

 Weiszewski/Adamek finished 3rd in Europe Cup in Innsbruck and qualified for OG!!!

Broke down some numbers for the final day of woman's qualification.

Monobob is done, except... For two quotas have their second best racing in the WC tomorrow.  If Blizzard cracks the to 12 (and there are only 17 entries) then it is possible for her to catch  Andreutti. Andreutti is racing in the EC and needs a top 11 I believe to improve her score.

 

In the two women race for 3 quotas it is very close between  Blatty and  Ribi. If Blatty gets a top ten it gets really interesting. If not it is done.

 

For the final quota(s) it looks pretty much done,  Van Petegem needs a top two finish in the WC to catch up, likewise  Moore needs a similar finish in the EC. No chance. If Moore had raced in the WC it might have got interesting.

Breakdown for the men's qualification is ..zzzzzzzzz

 

 Rohner finished off the competition for 3 quotas today

 

 Mandlbauer holds the last spot for 2 quotas, as long as he gets to the bottom tomorrow it is done. If not then  Ferreira would need a top five in the EC race to make it interesting.

 

 Edelman and  Brown are very close, but both are finished competing and there can be no change for the last quota now.

Ribi was lucky today because the track got faster. I hope Blatty can make up ground tomorrow in the two-woman and secure third place for Switzerland.

 

Rohner will take the third spot if he manages to complete two runs tomorrow.

Good point,  Mercer will finish with 1354 so I guess Rohner still needs 42 points which just requires that he finishes tomorrow.

 Blatty crashes badly 

 

With Olympic qualification at stake, this crash hurts exponentially more 

[Micki 1]

Really sad...she crashed, and Ribi benefits even though she only competed in the NAC all year till now. What a pity. Muswama Kambundji would have been the third Kambundji sister to make it to the Olympic Games. Maybe in 4 years...

Yes, you’re not wrong about that partially. But it’s not like Ribi is a NAC level athlete (like our two male athletes in skeleton), if she was consistently competing on the WC stage she would be having around the same placements as Blatty.
 

I think it’s just that Canada have so many WC level athletes that besides Appiah/Lotholz who are locks bar injury, substituting them throughout each stop helps the federation select the best possible team for the Olympics.
